This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and fuller main strokes, creating a lively diagonal rhythm across words. Serifs are finely bracketed and often wedge-like, with crisp terminals that feel cut and controlled rather than rounded. Uppercase forms are relatively restrained and classical in proportion, while the lowercase shows more calligraphic movement—especially in the angled entry/exit strokes and the varied, slightly springy widths. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic slant, reading clearly with distinctive curves and compact joins.
It suits editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and literary or cultural layouts where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also works well for invitations, programs, pull quotes, and refined headlines that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif texture.
Overall, the font conveys a polished, literary tone with an editorial sophistication. Its pronounced contrast and italic flow add drama and elegance, suggesting tradition and craftsmanship rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional serif italic with strong calligraphic energy and clear typographic hierarchy, pairing refined detail with a confident, readable rhythm.
The texture on a line is bright and articulate due to the thin hairlines, while the broader strokes keep it anchored and readable at display and comfortable text sizes. The italic is assertive, so it naturally draws attention and benefits from generous spacing in longer settings.
